Abstract

The present study shows that many markets in the city of Machala raw milk dispensers are not taking their physical-chemical parameters analysis correctly to assess their quality. The purpose of this work is to determine the adulteration of raw milk with water by means of a bibliographical investigation to evaluate its quality during its commercialization in the markets of the City of Machala according to NTE INEN 9: 2012 regulations. The method used was logical methodically that leads us to the investigation of scientific articles. An analysis of the bibliographic results of the Vending Markets of the City of Machala was carried out and the Country Standards were checked. These products do not meet the physical-chemical indicator parameters such as Acid Titulable with 29.03%, Protein content 19.35% and relative density 16.13%. It can be deduced that this product has an excess level of preservatives, neutralizers and antibiotics making it unfit for human consumption.
